I think @JeffH also has several native hives and dozens of Langstroths on his property, with no problems that he has commented on. In fact, I believe that one of his native hives did well enough to split. Is that correct, Jeff?

Hi Dawn, good morning Yes I had one native hive right behind my observation beehive. They don’t fight, unless a bee gets too close to the native hive entrance. This is what happened one day when a bee got too close to the native hive entrance.
